The cellphone of missing Hamilton man Timothy Bosma has been found, according to Hamilton police.

Bosma, 32, went on a test drive on Monday night with two men and never came back. Bosma had listed his truck for sale online.

Police found the phone in an industrial area near Brantford; they say they’re able to get records of calls made to Bosma’s cell phone before it was shut off at about 10 p.m. on Monday. Police say phone records suggest the two men are from west-end Toronto.

Police have traced a number that called Bosma’s cellphone earlier that evening to a phone registered originally in the Toronto area under a bogus name. That phone became inoperable around the same time as Bosma’s.

Police also believe cellphone records show that the pair met up with a separate man and test-drove a vehicle in the Toronto area on Sunday.

Police said the man was immediately suspicious of the pair, who walked up to his business, located in a remote industrial area of Etobicoke.

The man said the taller of the two had several tattoos on his arms, exposed by his short-sleeve t-shirt, but one in particular stood out: a tattoo on his wrist of a rectangle with the word ‘ambition’ inside.

A sighting of the missing vehicle, a black pickup truck, was reported in downtown Brantford at about 10 p.m. on Monday. Investigators are asking business owners in downtown Brantford to review security footage for that day between 9:30 and 10 p.m.

Police said there is nothing to indicate that Bosma had anything to do with the suspects prior to his disappearance.

On Thursday, Bosma’s wife, Sharlene, urged members of the public to help the search for her husband and to come forward with any information they might have.

“I watched my husband drive away just after 9 o’clock Monday night. He smiled at me and said he’ll be right back. I haven’t seen him since,” said Bosma.

“It was just a truck, a stupid truck. You don’t need him, but I do, our daughter needs her daddy,” she said, choking back tears. “I beg, I plead to whoever has my husband to please let him go.”

“Tim is a loving father to our beautiful two-year-old girl and she needs her daddy back,” she said.

One suspect is described as six-foot-one to six-foot-two, 170 to 180 pounds, in his mid-20s with short brown hair. The other is five-foot-nine to five-foot-10 with a small to medium build and dark red hair. He is in his early 20s. Both are white.

“I ask if you see anyone that closely matches this description to call the police,” Bosma said. “Please, please, if you see Tim or the truck, contact the police.”

The truck is described as a black 2007 Dodge Ram pickup with Ontario licence plate 726 7ZW.
